Re: black hawk down mod?

Sounds like we decided on a map (at least to start with), and I agree with the suggestion of naming it "Mogadishu," the name of the city, similar to how current maps are named right now in BF2.

Maybe for the website: Mogadishu
(a map based on the events surrounding the raid of Mogadishu and the "Blackhawk Down" incidents)

with the parts in ( ) being small text bellow (and maybe offset to the right)

Awesome job with the site placeholder already up and running Mishkan, like the tone.

how about:
www.blackhawkproject.com
?
incase we go forward with making a mod that actually has repelling from helicopters and normal guns.

I like it alot better, sounds good.

**Mishkan** · 07-08-2005, 04:51 PM

still no donations yet... I can probably get a server cheaper than $72 somewhere, but we won't get a server unless everybody helps to chip in.

**Gordy77** · 07-09-2005, 12:13 AM

maybe make a new topic about it? newer topics tend to attract more attention.

**pudd9** · 07-09-2005, 03:38 AM

I dont mind chippin in $5 or so. It sounds like a good idea. Just make a new topic with all the info and i'm sure we will all be able to do something!

There's probably a hundred other people coming out with a similar mod, it's just a no-brainer this game provides the tools and feel to make it happen.

I guess we'll just have to make ours the best.

Im hearin that!

I dont think the US should spawn in the city to start out. They should be on their Airforce base and I dont think their should be any Cobras or Jets. Just a bunch of Humvees and Blackhawks to take out with plenty of AA on the buildings because those things are so hard to take down. I cant wait for the Mod tools to start fooling around with this map.

**Phelan Ward** · 07-09-2005, 05:55 PM

I think we need to decide at what point in the story we want to make this map.
There are two points that offer good posibilities.

The Beginning: No one should hold any points in the city. The US should be rushing in with the BHs to capture the hotel/target area. (These are so close I think they should be one point.) In this case I would put 4-5 Blackhawks in the map and enough AA and roof top machine guns to keep the BHs under control. I suppose we would still want to put the crash sites and models in the map even though those events haven't happened yet.

After the Crashes: The Target Building and both Crash Sites should start as USMC. The MEC gets the random point that we make up. No more than 2-3 BHs in this case. Two of them are allready in the dirt. There should be emplaced support guns all over the place. Maybe we colud make one of the miniguns on Wollcot's BH still operable. Or just put a SAW on the door.

AA: This map needs AA/Machine guns all over the place to keep the Blackhawk's under control. I would stick to Machine Guns for the most part. If we could somehow make emplaced .50 cals without making it a MOD that would be perfect. About 10 of those set up on roof tops should keep the BHs busy.

Control Points: I agree with most of Pudd9's map but I'll add a bit more. Like I said earlier, the Olympic Hotel and Target area should be one point because they are so close. Two points so close would seriously mess up game play. The Target Building and Wollcot's Crash Site should be in the USMC's possesion most of the game. Durant's Crash Site and one other point (Just some random building, I might reread the book to find a suitable point.) needs to be in MEC control for the majority of the game.

I vote for After the Crashes.

I was wondering if you maybe had an extra server that some of the TG people could run a website for a BlackHawk Down mod/map on? They said something like 500mb storage 25Gb per month. http://www.tacticalgamer.com/showthr...1&page=1&pp=15
That's the thread, read through it to find out about it and if you want to help. The server info is on page 3 I think. They have a coming soon single page hosted with a paypal link made by one of their guys at http://blackhawkdown.mishkanart.com/

I thought I you had said something about having some servers back when you made that awesome template, and I was just wondering if you would be able to host this, because otherwise it would be around $72 a year for their server.

Lets see, i CAN host a SITE for you....a site, no forum though i gotta create a database on my server...and no games because i cant do that

but a site i CAN do
and then u can look up free forum hosting and find a phpBB2 forum for free...as long as you buy the domain i can do it for you for free Unlimited Bandwidth and storage...only perk...im the only one aloud to login to the server

they dont like that, then i cant do it

That's the PM from another forum I go to, he has a server, if this would work it would be free.

I sort of work for a web hosting company, and could probably get the site hosted pretty cheap, maybe even free. If you guys purchase the domain, I can give you the hosting for next to nothing, or maybe even nothing at all. The determining factor on price would be the amount of space and bandwidth needed. I have access to throw a domain on one of our servers, and that won't cost anything because we pay per-server, and each server hosts a couple dozen sites. But if we're going to need a lot of space and traffic, I'll probably need some $$$ to cover my additional costs. So, if you guys can give me an estimate of how much is needed; and I'll check on the limits on my servers.
